Benefits
People who start each day with a high quality protein have more energy, less cravings, better temperament, clearer thinking, get visible results from their exercise programs and have healthier looking skin and hair.
Starting every morning with a protein-rich breakfast breaks the downward spiral of carbohydrate cravings because protein is broken down more slowly, stabilizing blood sugar (glucose) levels for the rest of the day.
By skipping breakfast or eating refined carbohydrates (like cold cereal or a doughnut), you are not “fueling” your body’s furnace adequately. The resulting excess glucose is stored in fat cells. EEEEK!!!! Protein is broken down slowly allowing the glucose to be handled by cells and not stored as fat.
Soy is one of the best protein sources. Here is what I have learned about the Shaklee Soy products from Cheri Swanson, a certified nutritional consultant. The local hospital refers cancer patients to her, so Cheri’s credibility is outstanding. According to Cheri, Shaklee’s Soy is a raw, uncontaminated source of complete vegetable protein – all amino acids. It is processed with water instead of alcohol, so it is not chemically changed. It is clinically proven to be broken down and enter the blood stream within 15 minutes.
Bottom line, you have more energy and fewer cravings!
Soy is a food that literally feeds your cells and allows the body to build healthy cells with healthy DNA. If you use vitamins, but do not provide the body with the building blocks to create healthy cells, then the vitamins are simply feeding unhealthy cells. Not a good thing!

Soy Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe!
The ultimate healthy fast food for people who rush out the door in the morning!! Double the recipe, pour half in a thermos and take it with your lunch along with the Shaklee Vita Lea and B-Complex. You won’t believe the energy level and reduction in cravings!
8 oz. of Pacific Chocolate Almond Milk
1 tsp Maranatha Peanut Butter
¼ organic banana
(Above items are at Cubs or Whole Foods)
8oz. very cold purified water
2 ice cubes
3 tbsp of any of Shaklee’s Soy Proteins:
Instant Soy Mix (no carbs), or
Energizing Soy (Vanilla or Cocoa ), or
Slim Plan Gold Chocolate
(The Slim Plan is my absolute favorite. It is more expensive than the others because it is a complete meal replacement, but I see this as part of my grocery bill. You can throw in another tablespoon of the Instant Soy Mix for more protein.)
Mix it up in a blender or “Magic Bullet.” As many of you know I think the Magic Bullet rules! It is more powerful than any blender I’ve ever had but a lot less messy. You drink your smoothie out of the cup you blend it in. I honestly can make and drink my smoothie in less than 5 minutes, plus take my supplements.
Magic Bullets are at Walgreen’s, Kohl’s and Linen and Things.
Scrambled Eggs with Sautéed Veggies
If you have extra time, this is a great way to get more veggies in everyone’s diet and tastes great! This serves 3. Whisk 5 fertile, organic eggs (You can get these at Cubs or the local coops) with a splash of Rice Dream Rice Milk (available at all of the above). Throw in a handful of shredded organic cheddar cheese if you like. (Available at all of the above). Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Sautee a handful of veggies in olive oil. (You can slice the veggies in advance and store in the frig.
They should last a week. I like organic onions, red peppers and yellow peppers.)
Add the egg mixture and cook until done!
This is delicious!
